Mum had sex with son

1 question Harry Why?
 
You do have to wonder if this law is superfluous to requirements, the avoidance of incest happens naturally in all but a very tiny number of people, some of which wouldn't let what the law says affect them anyway (if its consentual its very hard to detect, unless offspring are produced).

Maybe the problem is that it would be too awkward to make a law that says incest is only legal when using contraception.

But I do agree the law is a little unnecessary because the vast majority of people aren't going to want to commit incest. I mean has anyone ever thought "Man I really fancy my mum but I won't shag her because incest is illegal"

And the thing is, the argument about the possibility of producing defomed offspring is nullified in the case of homosexual incest. Which as far as I know is also illegal.

Nullified in that instance, yes, however I don't even think that is the primary objection now (aside from the ick factor). One of the major issues is that doesn't alter the potential for there to have been undue influence placed on the son/daughter by the parent/guardian even as a sophisticated form of 'grooming' and that counts as a breach of trust and a gross dereliction of the duty of care that is owed to the child.

Well yes but what about when they are both adults? This case is interesting because it's borderline. He was only just a legal adult. Generally speaking when someone is over 18 they are considered mature enough to make their own decisions. Of course he probably wasn't, but what if he was 25, 30, etc?

And then there's the case of sibling incest. If they are similar ages it's even less likely one has been "grooming" the other.

I'd still be dubious about the mental capacity of anyone who thought that "hey, y'know I really want to sleep with my parent" but that is simply down to where I draw the line. Flippancy aside it still constitutes a breach of trust, a parent is expected to have the well-being of their child uppermost in their minds, sleeping with them is not likely to benefit either party and lead to a healthy and functional family relationship. A parent can be exerting undue influence regardless of the age of the child so whether or not they realise it they are almost always in the position of power in this familial relationship.

And then there's the case of sibling incest. If they are similar ages it's even less likely one has been "grooming" the other.

Maybe and maybe not. In that sort of case the parent/guardian would be expected to step in and prevent an unhealthy relationship forming. If they are under 16 then they are deemed incapable of giving informed consent to a sexual relationship (and even up to 18 is a bit dubious because you can get contracts set aside up to that age if prejudicial). If over 18 then theoretically I have no problem aside from the aforementioned "ick" factor.
 
eheheh:D

incest- an ancient matter:D

from biblical times, in Genesis:

Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. One day the older daughter said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Let's get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father." That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. The next day the older daughter said to the younger, "Last night I lay with my father. Let's get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father." So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. So both of Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father. The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today." (Genesis 19:30-38)
 
Hey, if they want to who are we to stop them?

I really don't see a problem with this - im not saying that i'd even come close to doing that, nor do I agree with it... but it really up to us to say what they can and cant do (specially if it doesnt even affect us).

You don't think that there should be some rules in society ?
